What Did You Do To Your Nano Today?

[Strangedaze]

Mastered slow clockwise/anti-clockwise circles & figures of eight around my house
Broke the tail boom & replaced it with solid carbon, but still had really bad wobble which turned out to be a bent feathering shaft, simply bent it back & now it flies perfect.

Awesome that you can bend back the feathering shaft as I thought it would be grounded until spares pop up in the UK.

Now working on tail in inverted, I just love this thing, I couldn't have imagined learning so fast without it.

I think you should relocate closer to work... maybe an half an hour drive... this will give you 4 hrs more flying each day!

I went brushless today

[Varc]

Flew it in winds between 9-14MPH! It flew better than expected even with the scale fuselage!
I love this bird!

[bobo14]

how much extra weight does that Fuse' put on the little guy Varg?

[shreddedpaper]

Great pics Varc! That fuse looks great. Gotta have one now.
Do you have a link?

[Varc]

0.2oz.
It flies just great!

Nine Eagles Bravo SX which I found on ebay.

[shreddedpaper]

Thanks Varc, I googled it and found this...

Looks like there is a couple of blue options too.

cool camo too

I got my blue canopy today. I installed it on my dead nano. Hopefully HH gets me my new board soon

Only gripe I have with the blue canopy is the X on the wind screen is a sticker rather than integrated into the color scheme.

[Varc]

They say that some where there is a limited edition black one with gold trim. I would love to find that one! But the dark colors makes it harder to see I think.
My Dad would love me to do this to his Nano, but I don't want him to have the same colored fuselage mine has. The dark blue one is nice, but I think too dark to see. The camo one is awesome, but look's like it should have rocket launchers and or machine guns on it!
Oh yea, and don't forget to order the skids for it as well. The body does NOT come with skids, they are separate.

I might get another one of these white ones and have my friend paint me a Magnum PI helicopter! But, that's also a dark colored bird.

However, this one looks promising! Maybe I'll get Dad one of these for his.

They do sell gun pods for the Bravo SX.

Also, the fuselage for the recently released Nine Eagle 127 may be of interest to you. Just gotta wait for the spare parts to be available.

Another tip, it's know that the Bravo SX motor is one of the stronger of that size out there. And it has 7tooth pinion.

Who's gonna be the first to try it in their nCPX and report back to us on how well it performs?

[Varc]

Question is, is the plug the same? I might give it a go if it's cheap. I can't afford a brushless mod right now and so far, so good.

[Daryoon]

Wait, I just learn that Nano's motor is only 8mm diameter? May not be compatible after all. Because I believe the Bravo SX is using 8.5mm motor.

[mrmarc]

Isn't the motor held in place with screws or a clip?

[shreddedpaper]

It's a slip fit and glued in.
The Bravo motor is 8.5mm x 20mm
it may be possible to fit it in, and not have to glue it.

[Daryoon]

More like friction and a dab of glue.

I put my non-bullet blades back on and it wanted to do a toilet bowl motion every few seconds when hovering and dart off. Checked feathering shaft, tightened and loosened it, and tightened and loosened blades. No apparent damage. Put bullet blades back on and gets rid of the toilet bowl "wobble".

I'd like to figure it out, but for now I guess solution is bullet blades. Oh....there is a little damage....I nicked the tip of the non-bullet blades the tiniest amount and filed both tips down slightly to make smooth....would that be enough to cause a wobble? If I remember right, those blades wobbled in pre damage condition also.

[mrmarc]

Sounds like this wobble is oscillation, not TBE. Check if your shaft collar is down too tight. The only time I have oscillation issues is in really extreme pitch changes when down to my last minute or so of battery power.

[Strangedaze]

Flew about 40 packs thought it yesterday & it really seems to have paid off as today I seem to be flying it around the house 2-3 x as fast Now I need to really start working on inverted hovering orientation as I've pretty much got the hang of flipping it, it's just what to do then?

Bent the feathering shaft back straight again, need to order a few spares as I've bent the thing back now about 5 times but it's still holding up very well & flies pretty much perfect again after bending it back.
